I was contacted by Fort Magic and
asked if I’d like to review their fort building kit. My girls love to build
forts. At least a few times a week I will walk into their room to find a blanket draped across their beds, so of course I accepted the offer.
Some of you may remember this photo that I posted to Facebook a while back.
Since then, the girls and I have made many more creations.
When the Fort Magic kit arrived, the girls and I could not wait to dig into the box and see what we could build. With 350+ pieces the possibilities are endless. The kit comes with 382 pieces. These pieces include straight pieces and curved pieces in several different sizes as well as a variety of connectors and fabric clips. There is also a storage bag and a book full of fort ideas that you can build. In addition to the included book, you can also check out the Fort Magic website for even more great ideas!
We decided to start with something fairly simple so out first creation was a house with a door that could actually open and close.
After a couple days with the house the girls wanted to try building a couple spaceships and they even built an alien friend.
Once they were done with the spaceships we built a giant tunnel that took up half of the room!!
The connectors are easy enough for my four year old to assemble. And the pictures in the book make it pretty easy to make a variety of forts. Once the forts were complete we used the fabric clips to attach a couple of sheets and fabric from my fabric stash.
The girls are having such a blast with this kit and I'm not going to lye, I've had just as much fun helping them build their creations. I can definitely see this kit getting a lot of use.
I've also been told that Fort Magic has fabric covers coming soon!!
Until then, you can visit fortmagic.com/ to learn how to create custom covers and accessories just like their dressed fort images.
Contest will run until Tuesday March 11th.

ReplyDeleteCool! My brother and I would have loved this when we were little. I'm sure my husband and my girls would absolutely adore a kit like this. We have something similar and they play with it all the time, but it only has 40 or so pieces and just doesn't build anything big enough for a 9 yr old and and 6 yr old to play in. They've tried, but finally resigned themselves to just making forts for their dolls.
ReplyDeleteWe would love either the fort or the castle.
ReplyDeleteI would build the teepee!
ReplyDeleteI would build the castle.
